"For 8 years, I have watched and participated in the growth of Pittsburgh's Dyke and Trans March (formerly known as the Dyke March), an effort led by the steady and dedicated investment of Eli Kuti, a local feminist trans man.

I am not an event organizer. I did not shape the mission statement and I would not necessarily define myself as a radical feminist. I do volunteer as often as I can. I have tried to use the privilege I have as a white middle class, middle-aged lesbian to address things like the quagmire with the police. I am a participant, an observer and a volunteer; this reflection on the March is not intended to represent the organizers' point of view."
